| book description |
Edward Gorey’s humorously macabre art has delighted readers for more than fifty years. From The Epiplectic Bicycle to The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Gorey’s work has gone on to inspire the likes of Tim Burton, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), Jim Henson, and more. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Edward Gorey’s birth, and created in conjunction with his estate, Uneasy Elixirs presents a delectable collection of fifty Goreyesque potions, libations, nightcaps, and aperitifs. For the first time ever, fans will be able to enjoy cocktails inspired by Gorey's characters and settings, such as The Thumbfumble (inspired by The Curious Sofa), Miss Quartermourning’s Grief (inspired by The Other Statue), The B is for Basil Julep (inspired by The Gashlycrumb Tinies—yes, Gorey’s ghastly children get their tipples, too), and The Q.R.V. No. 222, as well as one of Gorey’s personal favorite concoctions. Illustrated with original art from the Gorey archives and with glorious photography of these curious cocktails, Uneasy Elixirs is the perfect gift for every tremulous tosspot and disquieted dipsomaniac who loves a slightly wicked spirit. ORIGINAL RECIPES: Featuring original drinks inspired by Edward Gorey’s deliciously macabre illustrations, this book captures the wit and whimsy of Amphigorey, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Elegant Enigmas, and more. FIRST-TIME COLLABORATION: Created in collaboration with the Edward Gorey estate, this is first and only cocktail book based on Gorey’s stories and art. GOREY ILLUSTRATIONS: Rare and unusual Gorey art, as well as Gorey favorites, illustrate this unique collection.
